Looking for super deals on baby things

[Gloey]

Looking for newborn toys, etc. We're expecting our second grandchild in Sept. and don't know if its a boy or girl and prolly won't find out either since they want a surprise. They already have all the basic stuff, swings, etc., so I'm looking for maybe sales on unusual things to keep a new baby alert and occupied. Thanks all!

You can usually find a variety of baby toys at Big Lots for a good price. Also, watch the clearance endcaps at Target.

Do you have children's consignment sales in your area? You can get great equipment for a fraction of the cost. I get baby clothes with tags still on them for baby gifts!

have you ever checked out freepeats??

 

it's a website where parents and grandparents post up items they have to give away for free, you can also post items that you would like to have and there is another forum that keeps track of all consignment sales in your area...

 

friends of mine in the philly area use it frequently, and the one for my area just opened today..

 

i'm posting the info about it, but please if i'm violating any rules in doing so let me know:

You could always do an internet search for non-Made in China baby items. There are some gorgeous things out there, and that way there are no worries about lead, or anything else like that.

I just went to Wal-mart and in their baby section, they had a whole bunch of newborn toys on clearance as well as diapers and formula. I know this kinda stuff varies by store, but I've been finding that kinda thing a lot around here so you may find something. It's usually hidden at the end of an isle or at the back of the shelf kinda thing.
